Reseña del editor Standing in front of a room packed with 360 photographers at his seminar Scott Kelby asked for a show of hands: How many of you own some kind of an off-camera flash? A Nikon Canon Yongnuo etc.? About 340 hands went up. Okay I have one more question but before you raise your hand I want you to really think about your answer. Lets see a show of handshow many of you love using your off-camera flash? Out of those 360 people just four people raised their hands. He was stunned.Sadly the results were similar in city after city even in different countries. Its like we all bought a flash during the hot shoe flash revolution of 20082011 but were not getting the results we got them for in the first place. Not even close. We dont love our flashes and worse yet in many cases weve even stopped using them altogether. But it doesnt have to be that way. You just need somebody to help you unlock the real secrets to getting beautiful consistent and easily repeatable results.Thats why The Flash Book book was createdto help you finally fall in love with your flashand the best news is its way easier than youd think. In fact youll be surprised at how simple it really can be because youre not going to learn a bunch of geeky flash stuff and youre not going to have to do math and youre not going to need a light meter (its not that kind of book). Instead youre going to learn an amazingly simple systemone that Scott has been using for yearsand the best thing about this system is that its so darn easy (its probably very different from what you might have seen on the Internet but this system works and once you try it youll become a believer).Heres how the book works: Each idea or technique is just one page and it starts from scratch taking you through the flash settings (just the few simple ones you actually need to know); the camera settings (Scott gives you his own settings and you might not even need to change them during your shoot); and which affordable accessories you really need to start using flash like a pro.This isnt a book of theory full of confusing jargon and complicated concepts. This is a book on which settings to use and exactly how and when to use them. The whole book is written in Scotts plain-English down-to-earth style which makes the experience more like the two of you are out together on a shoot. Its time to fall truly head-over-heels in love with your flash so you can start creating the type of images with your flash that youve always dreamed of and this is the book that can take you there.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Flash Controls and SettingsChapter 2: Next Level Flash StuffChapter 3: Camera Settings for Working with FlashChapter 4: Using Flash for PortraitsChapter 5: Using Flash on LocationChapter 6: How to Light BackgroundsChapter 7: Using Flash at WeddingsChapter 8: How to Mount Your FlashChapter 9: Flash TricksChapter 10: Flash Workflow Biografía del autor Scott Kelby is the worlds #1 best-selling author of photography technique books as well as Editor and Publisher of the highly acclaimed Photoshop User magazine.
